Word-full Wednesday.... Sleep Deprivation

Dear 3am,

Thank you for reminding me that while my bed is empty you are always there to fill it with a baby who thinks it is time to get up.... I will never be "lonely" when you come around. (First song that came to mind this morning with the baby's wake up call). 

Both boys fevers have broken and they are back to their usual rowdy & playful selves.... 

But while caring for them I had no time to care for my own illness and I feel like poo.

How does a mother care for herself while putting every ounce of energy into making the little one's well again? 

It is wonderful to see them up and about with smiles on their faces though.... Coffee, water, vitamins & chicken soup will be my friend today.... And the hopes that while the man-child is at school, baby will nap so I can do the same....

Sincerely,
Mommy/Wifey who needs her DH home and a battery recharge

Our Little Dude is 10 Months Old Today!!!!

Today our little man turned 10 months old.... He also caught a very nasty bug that Big Brother started showing signs of on Sunday evening.... Dry cough, fever and now a runny nose... :(( He napped very little and only wanted me to hold him when he wasn't napping.... I know I will miss these moments when he is older, but with me and the oldest being sick as well and needing to tend to all of us, I am spent!

 Mastered/Advanced Skills: 

~ Crawling super fast!

~ Stands while holding onto something

~ Walks while holding onto furniture

~ Eats with fingers

~ Climbs on everything!

~ Bangs everything together (or on the floor!)

~ Knows what up, down mean

~ Waves hi (backwards)
~Waves Bye-Bye
~Stands alone for 5-15 seconds without holding onto anything
~Takes 2-3 steps on his own between objects (Activity table & Couch) and throws himself at them to catch himself.
~Says Dada, Bra (to brother) and WooWoo (to our dog), Spits/Blows raspberries at me when I ask him to say Mama.

 Weight: 24lbs +

Height: 27-28in. (He still moves too much!)

He was all smiles this morning (even with waking at 5am with a fever of 102) but by the afternoon the crud hit him like a ton of bricks.... Within minutes of him laying on me he passed out...

And then daddy called to FaceTime.... He was definitely not his happy go-lucky self.... :((

Big Brother was able to get a few smiles out of him later on.... At that point he didn't want me holding him and wanted to lay down with his "Bra".

After trying to get him to eat some solids (he took very few bites) I got him into a nice warm bath. He was a happy camper during and after that! Then it was bed time for both boys!

We Read Barefoot is giving one lucky person the opportunity to win their Best Selling Book The Animal Boogie AND the Activity Book that goes along with it!!
